Development Methodologies for Big Data Analytics Systems: Plan-Driven, Agile, Hybrid, Lightweight Approaches
暫譯: 大數據分析系統的開發方法論：計畫驅動、敏捷、混合、輕量級方法

本書介紹了針對各種規模企業的大數據分析（BDA）研究。作者通過研究基於三種方法論的開發方法，分析了在某些企業中應用BDA所面臨的問題，這三種方法論分別為：1) 計劃驅動（plan-driven）、2) 敏捷（agile）和3) 混合輕量級（hybrid lightweight）。作者首先描述了BDA系統及其如何隨著統計學、計算機科學和商業智能分析的融合而出現，旨在提供所需的概念、模型、方法和工具，以利用可用的內部和外部商業數據的多樣性、體量和速度，即大數據（Big Data），並為決策者提供決策價值。本書提供了高質量的概念性和實證性研究導向章節，涵蓋計劃驅動、敏捷和混合輕量級開發方法論及相關支持主題，適用於大型、中型和小型企業組織。

- 涉及大數據分析的數學、統計和計算基礎及技術；
- 包含從系統和軟體的角度出發的開發方法論中的具體研究問題；
- 展示了成功應用於醫療保健、物流、金融、行銷、零售和教育等多個領域的BDA系統。
